[23:53:16] You clan chatted 'What taking so long Vanyra? The master doesn't deserrve speedier work?!'
[23:53:59] Vanyra clan chatted 'If this sluggish old bastard did not send us to the ends of the lands for simple tasks it would be done quicker.'
[23:54:20] You clan chatted 'I heard that!'
[23:54:30] Vanyra clan chatted 'It will be done as is requested, but I wont do it out of the kindness of my no longer beating heart.'
[23:54:44] Xultantris clan chatted 'You'll do it because you're told.'
[23:54:53] Vanyra clan chatted 'As I am doing it.'
[23:55:16] Vanyra clan chatted 'I am told I shall do it, but keeping my tongue to myself was never part of the bargin.'
[23:55:51] Xultantris clan chatted 'You're going to fun to break. This is my domain, corpse. You will submit, or die. I will enjoy breaking you.'
[23:57:27] Vanyra clan chatted 'This creature might be inside the lich hall, do I have permission to murder my way inside for the clan?'
[23:57:41] Xultantris clan chatted 'What do we care for the lich clan?'
[23:57:44] Xultantris clan chatted 'Kill them all.'
[23:57:48] Xultantris clan chatted 'Do as you're told.'
[23:58:02] You clan chatted 'Clanmaster! Prepare the whips!'
[23:58:39] Xultantris clan chatted 'Daghthor, you prepare the whips. Vanyra, report to my fortress.'
[00:00:05] Vanyra clan chatted 'There is another lich who walks these lands, perhaps we do not mention I killed his kin.'
[00:01:12] Xultantris clan chatted 'Your allegiances are to me. You are dominated by the lich. You will learn the differences.'
[00:02:03] Xultantris clan chatted 'Daghthor and I are waiting for you. He's busy with important tasks and you drag your heels? A bad look.'
[00:03:24] You clan chatted 'Rotface just follow the elf ghostie, will find Fortress indeed.'
[23:59:45] * Daghthor fumbles around in some tattered baggage before finally producing two coiled, barbed cat'o'nine tails.
[00:01:56] * Daghthor uncoils one of the whips in his untrained hands and lashes it out nearly striking anything and everything around him. 'Dagghy will rend that rotface's decaying flesh!
[00:02:11] * A sly chuckle is heard coming from behind the mask of Xultantris.
[00:03:12] * Xultantris looks to you with a grin on his face.
[00:05:03] * Vanyra pants out of breath.
[00:05:05] * Daghthor lashes out almost immediately at Vanyra's legs with the barbed cat'o'nine tails, 'You will kneel before the master, yes yes!!' and he laughs manically.
[00:05:15] Vanyra said 'THe steeds, they do not trust me.'
[00:05:25] Xultantris said 'Daghthor, make it submit. Or you'll pay for the failure.'
[00:05:51] * Vanyra points at herself.
[00:06:01] Vanyra said 'Me submit?'
[00:06:38] Vanyra said 'I suppose I could do that, but these knees are not much for kneeling. At least not without a reason do to so.'
[00:06:49] Vanyra said 'They are not what they once were in life.'
[00:06:54] * Daghthor gulps nervously and tightens his grip on the whip, 'Rotface will be taught pain and suffering, if submit she does not!!' his happy-face eye spins around in his head as he motions towards the ground.
[00:07:03] * Xultantris seems angered by the disrespect.
[00:07:44] Vanyra said 'Who am I submitting to? The bugs? or the dwarf?'
[00:08:05] Vanyra said 'If I kneel, it is because I choose to hear the master closer.'
[00:08:19] * Vanyra sinks slowly to one knee, her hollow gaze never leaving Daghthor, as though granting him a small and dangerous mercy.
[00:08:23] * Vanyra sighs.
[00:08:46] Vanyra said 'There. Is rotface submitted enough, lash-bearer?'
[00:08:49] * Daghthor nods as if he has just won a grand battle, a victorious grin comes over his face.
[00:08:55] Vanyra said 'And can we circle back to rotface?'
[00:09:12] Xultantris said 'This one is not broken. It mocks you, and worse. Me.'
[00:09:39] * Vanyra lets the smile die slowly from her ruined mouth, her bowed head turning toward Xultantris.
[00:09:47] Vanyra said 'No mockery for the master. Only for the little hand that thinks the leash is his.'
[00:10:03] Vanyra said 'I bend because you command it. Not because he frightens me.'
[00:10:26] You said 'daGghHy wIll TAhKE greaat PlEhaosSzure iN bREhahhckiiNG thiszs aoNnE fOR thEh mMAhZSstEhR, awnNnd MmMaKiiNng iIt aour Pet...'
[00:10:41] * Vanyra lowers her gaze at last, though the motion carries more calculation than surrender.
[00:10:48] Xultantris said 'So you disagree with my wisdom to promote this one to Fiend. You know better than I? Corpse?'
[00:11:00] * Daghthor glares at Vanyra.
[00:11:14] * Vanyra goes very still, the last trace of defiance tightening into careful silence.
[00:11:25] Vanyra said 'No. I question only whether I have understood it.'
[00:11:41] * Vanyra bows her head lower, the words scraped out with visible effort rather than ease.
[00:11:56] Vanyra said 'Teach me why he is worthy, and I will learn where my tongue has erred.'
[00:12:02] * A sly chuckle is heard coming from behind the mask of Xultantris.
[00:12:16] * Daghthor exlaims, 'Do you understand this?!' he says as he attaches some wrath shurikens to the braided whips and snaps it right above Vanyra's head.
[00:12:18] Xultantris said 'Daghthor, teach it why you are worthy before it steps foot inside my hall. Am I understood?'
[00:12:35] Vanyra said 'I am a corpse, not a critic. Though admittedly, I do still have opinions.'
[00:12:47] Xultantris said 'Vanyra, if you kill my fiend here. Either of them. You will take their place.'
[00:13:16] * Daghthor grins sadistically, 'Yes master this pet will learn its place.'
[00:13:19] * Vanyra pauses, then looks between the fiends with the sudden stillness of someone reconsidering several bad ideas.
[00:13:26] Vanyra said 'Ah. A generous offer, '
[00:13:38] * Vanyra inclines her head toward Daghthor, her expression carefully arranged into something almost obedient.
[00:14:11] Vanyra said 'I will not take what is theirs tonight.'
[00:14:23] * Vanyra rises slowly from one knee, dusting dirt and wounded pride from herself with careful, deliberate hands.
[00:14:33] * Daghthor cackles with a sound somewhere between the insane and the confused.
[00:14:35] * Xultantris breaks into a dense swarm. 'It is brave being protected by me. I wonder...'
[00:14:35] Vanyra said 'Teach me well, then. I would hate to be unprepared if one of them disappoints you.'
[00:15:21] * Vanyra draws herself a little straighter, though the movement is slow and careful, as if pride has more strength than her body.
[00:15:29] You said 'poOR RoTFahhCe, faorgEtsSs ThHeh Jjooy Of thhE taZSsTe Of mEhats!'
[00:15:37] Vanyra said 'Brave? No, master. Merely hungry, dead, and poorly supervised.'
[00:15:55] Vanyra said 'I will either prove useful, or become a lesson with teeth marks..'
[00:16:19] * Vanyra stretches out to her fullest height, of not much more than five feet.
[00:16:27] * Daghthor idly bunches of some rotted fruit, 'Are you still here?' he says in Vanyra's direction.
[00:16:29] Xultantris said 'We are not supervisors. You want a manager, you go elsewhere. Here? You are a slave until proven otherwise.'
[00:16:54] * Vanyra lets the last of her height settle back into something smaller, colder, and more carefully arranged.
[00:17:06] Vanyra said 'Then a slave I am.'
[00:17:09] Vanyra said 'Until I am not.'
[00:17:16] * Vanyra turns her hollow gaze briefly toward Daghthor and the rotted fruit, then back to the swarm.
[00:17:31] Vanyra said 'Still here, Fiend. Taking instruction. Avoiding fruit.'
[00:17:44] Vanyra said 'I was told to learn your worth, and I have not yet found the end of the lesson.'
[00:17:52] * Xultantris reforms into his familiar form.
[00:18:00] Vanyra said 'Or the beginning of it if I am being honest.'
[00:18:08] * Vanyra chuckles politely.
[00:18:41] * Vanyra nods.
[00:18:45] * Vanyra curtseys gracefully to Xultantris.
[00:18:47] You said 'ZszaoMe LEhssonnns cawn vbe PahhIinnfuhhllY sloow, sLaovEh, aoNnd DaogghHy eAger too BEginn tehawchinNng yOouhH OoNnceh yaou cLAiimM yaour plAce ahmmOnng tHEh taop OfF YOouhHr pEhers..'
[00:18:53] * Xultantris waves his hand in dismissal.
[00:19:06] * Vanyra grins at Daghthor
[00:19:10] * Vanyra kisses Daghthor.
[00:19:13] * Vanyra chuckles politely.
[00:19:22] * Daghthor is completely caught off guard, stunned even.
[00:19:37] * Daghthor blushes.
[00:19:45] Xultantris said 'My command still stays.'
[00:19:51] Xultantris said 'Don't let it control you.'
[00:20:18] * Daghthor akwardly pushes at the crotch of his pants, uncomfortable standing any longer, 'No master, of course nots!
